WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the

other). This plug is intended to ﬁt into a polarized outlet only one way. If

the plug does not ﬁt fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not

ﬁt, contact a qualiﬁed electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any

way or force it into the outlet. This could result in injury or electric shock.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of

entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable

power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used

if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply

extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as

great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

2. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the

countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or

tripped over unintentionally.

POWER CORD SAFETY TIPS

1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.

2. To insert plug, grasp it ﬁrmly and guide it into outlet.

3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.

4. Before each use, inspect the power cord for cuts and/or abrasion

marks. If any are found, this indicates that the appliance should be

serviced, and the power cord replaced. Please contact Chefman

Customer Support for assistance.

5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place

undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to

fray and break.

DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE POWER CORD SHOWS

ANY DAMAGE OR IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY

OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Remove all packing and materials. Be sure that all parts are included

before discarding any packaging.

2. Pull out the power cord from the compartment under the base, and

place base on a ﬂat surface. (Make sure the power cord comes out

of the opening in the base so unit can sit level.)

3. To rinse the pot of any packing debris, “brew” a pot of plain water

without tea. To do so, press the button on the lid to open, then ﬁll

kettle with water to the MAX line.

4. Close the lid, place the kettle back on the base unit, and plug into a

power outlet.

5. Unit should come preset to Boil (212°F); if not, use arrow buttons to

set it to Boil, then Press Start.

6. The LED indicator lights will turn red and the display will show the

temperature as the water heats.

7. After the boil, the unit will automatically switch to Keep Warm and

LED indicator lights will be green. At this point, empty the kettle,

then rinse the kettle with clean water. It is now ready for use.

NOTE: Never ﬁll the water above the MAX line or below the MIN line

indicated on the glass jar.

The Electric Kettle+ is perfect for all your hot-water needs: Hot or iced

tea, instant or pour-over coffee, instant oatmeal, and more. The bonus

tea infuser lets you brew your favorite loose-leaf or bagged teas directly

in the stain-resistant, borosilicate glass kettle. The kettle lights up with

bright LEDs and lifts easily from its base for easy ﬁlling at the sink and

cord-free serving; it can also be returned to its power source from any

direction, making it work well for both righties and lefties.

HOW TO MAKE TEA WITH TEA INFUSER

1. Place kettle base on ﬂat surface.

2. Remove tea infuser from kettle by opening lid, grasping the tea

infuser insert using the pinch bar, and lifting it up.

3. Fill the kettle to at least the MIN line and not above the MAX line

(1.8 liters) with cold, fresh water and place the kettle securely onto

its base.

4. Plug in unit. The kettle will alight white, meaning it’s in standby mode.

5. Choose one of the presets (suggested temperatures for optimal brewing

of speciﬁc kinds of teas) or your own preferred temperature by pressing

the up and down arrows on the handle. Hold the button down to go

through just the presets. Pulse the button to scroll through temperatures

in intervals as well as presets to ﬁnd the perfect temperature for you.

NOTE: You can switch temperature units (°F and °C) by holding

down both the up and down arrow buttons for 5 seconds.

6. After choosing the temperature, press Start. The indicator lights

will turn red indicating heating. The display will show the average

live temperature of the water as the heat increases. (You can cancel

heating at any time by pressing Stop.)

7. Meanwhile, slide the top plastic holder off removable infuser and ﬁll

the metal mesh container with either loose tea (about 2 teaspoons

per cup) or tea bags based on the amount of water you’re heating.

Slide plastic holder back on. (Wait to insert the infuser until the

desired temperature has been reached.) WARNING: Use extreme

caution when adding infuser as kettle and water will be very hot.

8. When temperature is reached, the unit will beep. Carefully open the

kettle lid and, holding the infuser by its pinch bar, insert it into the

kettle with its rounded plastic side toward the spout. The top of the

infuser should rest on the edge of the lid opening.

9. Securely close the lid and let tea steep according to directions,

recipe, or preference. (See chart on p. 10 for suggested steeping

times.) Using the pinch bar, carefully remove infuser when ﬁnished

steeping.

WARNING: Use extreme caution when removing the infuser as kettle

and water will be very hot.

10. To serve, lift the kettle off its base and pour. If there is water or tea

remaining, return the kettle to the base to keep warm for up to

1 hour. (See p. 12 for more about the Keep Warm function.)

Otherwise turn off the kettle by pressing Stop, then unplug unit.

NOTE: After the keep warm period ends, the unit will go into standby mode.

If there is no action within 20 minutes, the unit will go into sleep mode.

TEA BREWING PRESET CHART

The guide below is intended as a starting point for brewing your perfect

cup of tea. You may need to vary the amount of tea and steeping times

based on the kind of tea, the size of the leaves, and personal preference.

Preset Temperature Loose Tea Amount

(per cup)

Steeping Time

Delicate 160°F 2 teaspoons 1 to 2 minutes

Green 175°F 2 teaspoons 1 to 3 minutes

White 185°F 2 teaspoons 1 to 2 minutes

Oolong 195°F 2 teaspoons 3 to 4 minutes

Herbal 212°F 2 teaspoons 5 to 7 minutes

Black 212°F 2 teaspoons 4 to 5 minutes

TEA BREWING TIPS

• Use good-tasting water, preferably ﬁltered, for best results.

• Add more or less tea leaves than suggested depending on how

strong you like your “cuppa.”

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

11 12

• Avoid steeping for too long, which can make tea taste bitter.

• If making iced tea, double the amount of tea leaves and steep a little

longer so when chilled the ﬂavor does not get diluted.

• If your loose tea comes with brewing instructions, defer to those

initially for optimum amounts and steeping time.

• Save money by re-steeping tea. Though black teas generally give

up all their ﬂavor during the ﬁrst brew, some teas, like green tea and

oolong, may be re-steeped within a few hours; let them steep a little

longer during the second steep for best ﬂavor.

HOW TO HEAT HOT WATER WITHOUT MAKING TEA

Follow the directions for making tea with the diffuser on p. 8 but leave

the diffuser out of the kettle. Presets and keep warm function all work the

same; use hot water as desired.

SPECIAL FEATURES AND SAFETY FUNCTIONS

Recent Selection Saving

You don’t have to reset the kettle every time you use it. After ﬁrst use,

the default setting of your Electric Kettle+ will be the last setting you

programmed.

Automatic Keep Warm Function

The Electric Kettle+ will keep your water or tea hot for up to 1 hour.

During the Keep Warm phase, the unit’s indicator lights will be green, the

words Keep Warm and a timer counting to 1 hour will display. When Keep

Warm time ends, the kettle will go into standby mode; the display will

still be on and the indicator lights will be white. After 20 minutes with no

action, the unit will go into sleep mode with all lights off.

Memory Function

The Electric Kettle+ features an internal memory that lets you remove the

kettle from the base without the unit turning off. Instead, heating or Keep

Warm (depending on which mode unit was in) will pause and the kettle

will continue heating or warming when it’s returned to its base. This is

true so long as temperature has not dropped by more than 20°F during

the time the kettle was without power. If it has dropped by more than

that, the kettle will go into standby mode.

Boil-Dry Protection

The Electric Kettle+ comes equipped with boil-dry protection. While

you should never heat the kettle without water at least to the MIN line,

should the unit go dry or start without water, it will automatically shut off

completely to avoid damaging the heating element. It will not come back

on, even if you replace it to the base, until it has cooled down. To quickly

cool it down, add cold water to the kettle.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

13 14

1. Unplug the kettle and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

2. Clean the interior of the kettle as needed by removing the infuser

and carefully rinsing the inside with soapy water. Do not let handle

get wet. Rinse inside of kettle thoroughly. Wipe outside of kettle and

power base with a damp cloth.

WARNING: Never immerse kettle or power base in water or wash in

the dishwasher; doing so will damage the unit.

3. Wash tea infuser in warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly; the

infuser is not dishwasher safe.

NOTE: Reheating tea in your kettle may result in a bronze color tea

stain appearance on the stainless-steel surface at the base of the

kettle. This is caused by tea residue that adheres to the bottom of

the kettle when reheated at high temperatures. After a few cycles,

the surface of the stainless base may begin to turn a bronze color.

To avoid tea-staining, do not reheat the same pot of tea twice and

always rinse the inside of your kettle before each brew. To remove

the bronze color staining, dilute a small amount of food-grade white

vinegar to a fresh kettle full of water and boil. After boiling, allow to

cool and thoroughly wash and dry before your next use.

DECALCIFYING

Due to minerals in water, deposits may form on the base of the kettle

and cause discoloration. To get the best performance from your kettle,

decalcify it from time to time. Frequency will depend on the hardness of

your water and how often you use the kettle. You can either follow the

directions using a commercial descaler or use vinegar and water and

follow the directions below:

1. Fill the kettle with enough white vinegar to cover the bottom by

about ½ inch. Heat the vinegar to a boil.

2. Repeat this with cooled vinegar until all deposits are removed.

3. When the descaling process is complete, empty the kettle and rinse

out several times with clean water.
